Sandbox To Sky

When first we play in the park into the sandbox we go With shovel and pail we dig endlessly passing the time as we grow Our parents lift us into a swing They help us point to the sky Then gently bring us back down to earth As we smile our way down the slide Soon we're climbing the jungle gym dealing with life's complexities pausing to hide in chutes, on ladders keenly aware that getting caught matters June 21, 2021 PLAYGROUND Poetry Contest Sponsor: Shreva LN

Yes indeed, Lindsay. Playgrounds and ice cream shoppes sure do bring out those smiles! ~ Grins and Chuckles, gw
